Between Trek (Gary Fisher Collection) and Giant, I have about 40 29ers on the floor in all sizes, from hard tail to dual suspension.

Looking at hardtail aluminum hydro disks. I like the Cobia a lot but really want a tad bit more relaxed riding position and I'm not a fan of Trek and their price gouging. Haven't looked at Giants yet. Might just pop in!

Look at the Giant Talon 0. We can set up any handlebar position to your liking. At least with most 29ers the handlebars will be up higher for more comfort until you get into the comp ready geometries on the higher end models.

Trek will come in at a higher price for sure. Afterall, Giant makes the majority of Trek anyway. Trek is their biggest customer, $400 million last year.

So with Giant, one of the middlemen has been taken out. I will say you'll have a 5% premium for the name and the Specialized brand, 10-15%. (We sold Specialized from 1986 to 2002).
